Overview

Viewing Notes
RIP Orson Bean
July 22, 1928 — February 7, 2020
Only available for rent or purchase via streaming so I went over to my library for it.
What the hell I thought I logged this already. Seriously I’m sure I’ve seen this dvd from my library before. There was a time when I checked out all the Rankin and Bass Tolkien adaptations. Oh it was Bakshi that did the first animated LOTR film then Rankin/Bass did Return of the King.
Guessing I viewed this before I was logging films on the regular. Anyways, this is a big staple from my childhood. I had the vinyl album and listened to it all the time. It holds up rather well.
